not really. i basically run it with the Dampening Level knob completly out. i backed off of my torque specs just a little and that helped a lot, but it eventually came loose allowing for a little free play which caused the spanner nut to slightly move inside of the x ring washer/seal and cut the washer into two pieces.

it seems that something isnt quite right in my setup, possible the race isnt exactly true or something else is not right because when i torque it down properly it seems to load up the steering stem bearings and create a lot of drag.

im not 100% sure if the "Tightness" that im feeling is the stabilizer or the bearings.
